[C++-sig] Exposing Enums with same values

[Anand, Kumar]

Hi,

I am trying to expose an Enum (defined in C++) to Python using Boost
Python. 
//type.cpp file
// Please note that the 2 of the enums have the same value. 
typedef enum {
       HOST_TYPE_AT = 1, 
       HOST_TYPE_AP = 0, 
 HOST_TYPE_COMMON = 0
 HOST_TYPE_INVALID = 2
} HWM_HostType; 

//boost_type.cpp
#include <boost/python.hpp>
#include <boost/python/class.hpp>
#include <boost/python/scope.hpp>
#include "type.cpp"
namespace bp = boost::python;

BOOST_PYTHON_MODULE (Boost_Test)
{
  bp::enum_< HWM_HostType >(" HWM_HostType ")
    .value("HOST_TYPE_AT ", HOST_TYPE_AT)
    .value("HOST_TYPE_AP ", HOST_TYPE_AP)
    .value("HOST_TYPE_COMMON ", HOST_TYPE_COMMON)
    .value("HOST_TYPE_INVALID ", HOST_TYPE_INVALID)
    .export_values()
    ;
}

//Build goes fine. SO FAR SO GOOD!! But when I use it in Python I get an
error.
//my python script

import Boost_Test
print Boost_Test.HOST_TYPE_AT
print Boost_Test.HOST_TYPE_AP
print Boost_Test.HOST_TYPE_COMMON

AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute HOST_TYPE_COMMON'

Any suggestions? When I try to assign different values to the enums,
everything works fine. 

Thanks
Kumar
